Representative Text

1 There are some things I may not know,
There are some places I can't go,
But I am sure of this one thing
That God is real for I can feel Him deep within.

Refrain:
Yes, God is real, real in my soul,
Yes, God is real for He has washed and made me whole;
His love for me is like pure gold,
Yes, God is real for I can feel Him in my soul.

2 Some folks may doubt, some folks may scorn,
All can desert and leave me alone,
But as for me I'll take God's part
For God is real and I can feel Him in my heart. [Refrain]

3 I cannot tell just how you felt
When Jesus took your sins away,
But since that day, yes, since that hour
God has been real for I can feel His holy pow'r. [Refrain]
